Polymerization cycle

Monomeric actin binds ATP very tightly with an association constant Ka of 1 O M in low ionic strength buffers in the presence of Ca ions. A polymerization cycle involves addition of the ATP-monomer to the polymer end, hydrolysis of ATP on the incorporated subunit, liberation of Pi in solution, and dissociation of the ADP-monomer. Exchange of ATP for bound ADP occurs on the monomer only, and precedes its involvement in another polymerization cycle. Therefore, monomer-polymer exchange reactions are linked to the expenditure of energy exactly one mol of ATP per mol of actin is incorporated into actin filaments. As a result, up to 40% of the ATP consumed in motile cells is used to maintain the dynamic state of actin. Thus, it is important to understand how the free energy of nucleotide hydrolysis is utilized in cytoskeleton assembly. [Pg.45]

An important step in the production process is the preparation of a standard specimen. This specimen is used to qualify principle production parameters such as the long-term stability of the reactive mixture, polymerization cycle, and the performance characteristics of the material obtained. Simultaneous determination of the reaction parameters allows us to use mathematical modelling to optimize the reactive processing regime. [Pg.116]

A major drawback of conventional microemulsion polymerization is the high surfactant-to-monomer ratio usually needed to form the initial microemulsion. Surfactant can be used more efficiently in semi-continuous or fed polymerization processes. Several polymerization cycles can be run in a short period of time by stepwise addition of new monomer. After each cycle of monomer addition, most of the surfactant is still available to stabilize the growing hydro-phobic polymer particles, or to forms microemulsion again when a polar monomer is used. For instance, in the polymerization of vinyl acetate (VA) by a semi-continuous microemulsion process [21], latexes with a high polymer content of about 30 wt% were obtained at relatively low AOT concentrations of about 1 wt%. Moreover, their particle sizes and molecular weights were much smaller than those obtained by conventional emulsion polymerization. [Pg.266]

Scheme 5 suggests that every step of the ADMET polymerization cycle is in equilibrium and that, by shifting the relative concentrations of the condensate and polymer, depolymerization would result. In fact it has been shown that various unsaturated polymers can be depolymerized with excess ethylene, as well as substituted ethylenes. These depolymerizations can be done either with the tungsten or the molybdenum versions of Schrock s catalyst. [Pg.2689]

The second insertion in the productive cycle of Fig. 14 would involve the chelated acyl complex (5). Again it might have been difficult to convert this to the olefin complex (6) in the nickel case as the strong chelate Ni-oxygen bond has to be weakened. However, for nickel it seems that (5) is replaced with the five-coordinated acyl complex 5a by uptake of one additional CO. However, 5a is not amenable for ethylene uptake as a first step in the insertion of ethylene into the metal-acyl bond since ethylene will have to replace the more strongly bound CO (>10 kcal mol ). It is thus Ukely that the CO/ethylene polymerization cycle is blocked by a species such as 5a or the four-coordinated chelate (5) of Fig. 14. [Pg.176]

Nozzles should be maintained after each resin polymerization cycle that is, they are cleaned up to be reused, thus leading to additional costs (Fig. 2.4). [Pg.32]

The most up-to-date autoclaves offer different possibilities to adjust the pressure and temperature during the polymerization cycle in compliance with the most suitable law for each type of resin used. A higher pressure prevents the formation of vacuum between the layers beyond a percentage of 65 %, which is the maximum limit allowed for composite production. This kind of manufacturing process is usually chosen when specific mechanical properties are pursued, such as those required for aeronautics, the space industry, or medical devices. [Pg.33]
